Adolescent gurreck skin vellum is the medium upon which the bearer’s deeds are inscribed on the Scroll of Foundation. Coiled about twin dowels of titanium, the scroll is meant to imply strength and reliability, each dowel’s end capped with a matched set of lightsaber-grade alchemically gemstone. The scroll is bound with fine Sullustian leather featuring a Brotherhood emblem clasp of polished silver.
Requirements
The Scroll of Foundation is awarded to those who serve admirably in the Shadow Academy. Every six months, the Headmaster grants one scroll per every 10 exams graded by each Professor and Docent. Graders can earn additional scrolls by maintaining an average grading time below the standard for their courses. For every hour (or equivalent period) below the standard, graders will earn a bonus of 8.5 percent. The bonus makes it possible for graders who grade in half the time to earn twice the scrolls. The Brotherhood site automatically awards SoFs for graders.
The standard for most courses is 24 hours. For professors who oversee multiple courses, grading averages will be based on all courses for which they are responsible.
The Headmaster also awards these scrolls to those members who assist the Academy in locating significant typos and factual errors in courses using the SA Feedback Form.
In the past, the Scroll of Foundation was also given to Antei Combat Centre trainers as well as masters who trained a student to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight; the latter activity has been shifted to the Scroll of the Master.
